PRE-FILLED INFO ON ONLINE BAS IS DIFFERENT TO MANUAL LODGEMENT

The information pre-filled on my BAS return when I am lodging online is different from the information pre-filled on my BAS return if I were to lodge manually. It is only the GST on purchases (1B) that differs.  I have checked and both reports are using the accrual system.  I have also manually run the reports and calculated the BAS myself and I come up with the same figures as the pre-filled lodge manually form. How can I find the cause of this discrepancy?

    We are having exactly the same issue. I'd love an answer to this as well.

    Hi Katheryn123 and Leighton,

     

    Nice one, Leighton! Great to see you on top of things by checking your accounting method and running your reports. There could be a few different reasons why the pre-filled amounts aren’t matching up when lodging manually versus online. One quick trick is to clear your browser cache—it’s surprising how often that clears up odd behaviour. Make sure to double-check your BAS online settings and go through all GST-related transactions for the reporting period to ensure everything’s consistent and accurate.

     

    Katheryn123 If you haven’t already looked into what might be causing the discrepancies, I’ve come across this post that could have some handy tips for handling BAS. Plus, you might find this article useful too. 

     

    Cheers,

    Princess

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately the browser cache isnt the issue. We checked this was consistent across other accountants bookkeepers within the team and they all had the same difference. We also refreshed the ledger data multiple times, checked the settings were consistent and also the transactions were consistent. This does appear to be an error with MYOB.
